Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Had a game last night of Domination on Highrise where a buy managed to get a 5kill multi kill within the first 10 seconds of the game.

5 members of my team rushed out to cap the point in our building and since you can see the other buildings point from across the map both teams started shooting at each other. Someone on my team drops a C4 on the point which immediately gets hit by a stray bullet killing all 5 of us.

I would love to have seen the +100 +50 +whatever messages appearing on that guys screen.

Apparently they must have gotten a lot of their new jargon from watching a lot of Generation Kill and forgetting that the Rangers arent Marines

This might actually be true -- no one ever uttered the phrase "Oscar Mike" in CoD4, which DOES feature Marines but also happened to come out almost a full year before Generation Kill.

Isn't it a farily common phrase in the military though. I have a few Autobiographies that use the term extensively. I'm talking Blackhawk down, Guests of the Ayatollah (birth of Delta force baby!) , Mike Durant's book (He's the pilot kidnapped in Blackhawk Down) Jarhead and Killing Time.

Been in the Army Infantry for almost six years, anytime someone uses jargon other than a joke or actually on the radio is instantly ridiculed. It's more embarrassing than when one of your friends says "EL OH EL" in public instead of laughing.

It should also be Charlie Mike after that brief halt - Continue Mission.

Edit note, speaking of crazy military inconsistencies I really hope their advisor argued against that terrible, terrible 240b firing sound. Whoever thought that sounded realistic/good should be shot at by one.

Pardon my civilian ignorance, but what is the 240b and what's wrong with the sound it makes?

After playing HCTDM for a bit tonight I really find myself wishing there was an 18 man option.

12 man on some of these maps just makes the game feel so empty in a TDM mode.

Derail doesn't really work with 12 people. Way too big.

Edit: no, wait; Derail doesn't work.

Ever.

Derail + Domination + spawn at the far end near C point = me hiding for the match and playing Elona Shooter until it's over.

I always just whip out a sniper rifle, head up to the top floor of that building behind point C and pick people off the rooftop above point A. Usually good for at least 5-10 oneshot kills. I think that's why I like Domination far more than Team Death Match. The points seem to give the game a more structured flow which helps a ton on the larger maps for actually finding mans to kill.

If an autoaim hacker with a chopper gunner on Wasteland isn't enough to make me drop out of a game a suiciding douchbag sure as hell isn't.

At least when the other team is javelin glitching they usually lose so it's often a free win. That wasteland though... I've never seen a TDM game end that quickly. He didn't even bother with a nuke because the match ended before his chopper gunner did and no one was alive long enough to get a shot off at him.

Tonight I discovered the wonders of C4 in Domination. Playing stupid Quarry, got the same guy three times in a row in the same spot. This prompted him to send me a private message calling me a "gay fagot hilbilly" [sic].

Y'all gonna bitch and moan about the Javelin exploiter, but then you won't leave the match? Abused Housewife Syndrome at its best.

The problem was no one noticed you dropped. Halfway into the game someone asked where pancake? That's when we realized it. Sides we won and I need every victory I can get. Man we had some badass games tonight. I actually did half decent as well so that's a plus.

But the loss! the loss!

Actually no i always quit when i see exploiting. I could care less about my stats.

I care about Win/Loss, but not enough to stay in a match where someone's glitching.

W/L gets screwed over anyway thanks to the matchmaking still trying to fill games that have like 30 seconds left on the clock.

That's why I like TDM more than objective matches. My scoreboard is actually a reflection of my contribution. A few bullshit deaths here and then, but nothing like the frustration of trying to maintain a really impressive win streak.

1.20 K/D is pretty good considering that most players end up working from a deficit earned from their early rounds.

My k/d is going to be fucking stupid because I'm not the only one to play rounds on the account and I'm by far and away the best player. As in, I'm adequate.
The other people who play on my account will routinely put up 3 and 13 scores.
